The Yamaha TAG 3 TransAcoustic dreadnought cutaway acoustic-electric guitar offers a groundbreaking blend of traditional acoustic craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology. Built with an all-solid wood construction, this guitar features a Sitka spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides for a warm, balanced, and dynamic tone. Its innovative TransAcoustic technology delivers onboard reverb, delay, chorus, and a looper, eliminating the need for external pedals. Whether you're experimenting in the studio or performing live, this guitar's ability to blend superior tone with immersive effects makes it a true creative powerhouse. Its ergonomic cutaway body ensures easy access to higher frets, and with rechargeable electronics, it's always ready to inspire. Designed for musicians seeking unparalleled sound and functionality, the Yamaha TAG 3 redefines what's possible in an acoustic-electric instrument.

Yamaha's TransAcoustic Technology for Built-In Effects

The standout feature of this guitar is its integrated TransAcoustic effects system, which includes reverb, delay, chorus, and a looper. These effects are built directly into the instrument, allowing players to create lush soundscapes without the need for external gear. The looper function enables layering of riffs and progressions, fostering creativity during practice or performance. An intuitive tap sensor provides effortless control over loop timing and tempo, while Bluetooth audio integration allows playback of backing tracks or favorite songs. This feature transforms the Yamaha TAG 3 from a traditional acoustic guitar into a versatile platform for sonic exploration and innovation.

Premium All-Solid Wood Construction

This model's all-solid wood construction ensures a rich and resonant acoustic voice. The Sitka spruce top offers excellent clarity and projection, while the solid mahogany back and sides add warmth and depth to its tonal character. The dreadnought body shape enhances low-end response, making it ideal for players who enjoy powerful strumming or intricate fingerpicking. The wood combination is further complemented by scalloped bracing, which allows the top to vibrate freely for improved sustain and responsiveness. Together, these elements create a guitar that delivers superior tonal balance and dynamic range, inspiring players to explore its full acoustic potential.

Rechargeable Electronics for Modern Convenience

The Yamaha TAG 3 features a rechargeable Li-ion battery system to power its advanced electronics. With a magnetic charging connection, recharging the guitar is hassle-free and eliminates the need for disposable batteries. The built-in controls, including master volume, bass EQ, and mic blend, are intuitive and easy to use, enabling precise adjustments to your sound. This rechargeable system offers up to 10 hours of continuous playtime, ensuring reliability during rehearsals, gigs, or extended recording sessions. By combining cutting-edge functionality with eco-friendly convenience, this guitar delivers an elevated experience for today's musicians.

Engineered for Durability and Playability

The construction of this acoustic-electric guitar is designed to stand the test of time while maintaining exceptional playability. Its ebony fingerboard and bridge provide a smooth, responsive feel and long-lasting durability. The nitrocellulose finish enhances the resonance of the all-solid wood body, improving its tonal characteristics over time. The ergonomic cutaway design ensures easy access to the upper frets, making it ideal for exploring lead lines or solos. Gotoh tuners in cosmo black provide precise tuning stability, ensuring the guitar stays in tune even during intense performances. With its premium materials and thoughtful design, this instrument offers reliability for years to come.

Game-Changer for Creative Musicians

The Yamaha TAG 3 TransAcoustic guitar is the ideal instrument for musicians seeking to expand their sonic palette. Its onboard effects and looper empower players to experiment with textures and layers, while the all-solid wood construction delivers stunning acoustic tone. Whether you're developing new ideas or performing on stage, this guitar provides the tools needed to redefine your creative boundaries.

    Very happy with this guitar so far. The guitar I received was perfect. The fit, finish and action are all excellent. It sounds good without the electronics, but it sounds incredible when you turn it on. It's my go to "acoustic" now. It's great for writing, practicing and performing.

  • This guitar is fantastic!

    It is a great guitar for sitting in my music room and laying down a back track then practice playing scales with that back track. Im learning to play better especially scales and runs up and down the neck. I am playing more than I have in a longtime. It's fun and creative. I have the first edition of the transacustic guitar line from Yamaha the FS-TA. With addition of a second transducer the sound more full. The reverb and choris is enough but adding in delay and looping takes your playing experience to whole new level. You will not be disappointed with this guitar!

  • Great guitar

    I love the way this plays, good action, nice tone, and feels great, not to mention the built in effects, so there's no need to lug around an amp and pedals. I definitely recommend

    I've been a player and professional singer songwriter now for 60 years. I've owned14 top Martin's and 3 top Taylors along the way. This TAG3-C I recently got plays with the ease of an electric guitar and the tone is MORE balanced than any of the others I've owned over the years.

  • Beautiful sound! Action and playability are really top notch

    I was in the market for a new, nicer Acoustic guitar. I play mostly for small get-togethers and this is perfect for my needs. This is a solid-body guitar and the sound is amazing. Having the option of adding reverb, chorus, delay, and looping without extra pedals or an amp, is just icing on the cake of a very well-made guitar.

    Hi - one of the reviews described the tag3c trans acoustic As a solid body guitar. I'm so confused. Transacoustic? How can it have a solid body if it's acoustic? 
Thanks in advance.
